Six bad boys gathered all looking to dish out ‘neutralization’ to the opposition and by god it was a seriously exciting event! After several flurries on the ‘flipometeres’ Pete, Mike and Malc were ready to do battle with Steve, Ian and Dave. It turned out to be a battle of epic proportions!

There wasn’t a single walkover, all games were hotly contested, some were nail biters, one in particular (probably) has to be the most fiercely contested game in 'bad boys’ history and that is saying something with over 630 games under out belts!

The final score line was SID 1346 / 257 PMM

There were some stunning darts thrown, everybody had at least one good patch and many played consistently well all night. Mike played very well for our team but without a shadow of a doubt Dave has to be man of the match, his play was streets ahead of everybody else when the whole evening is taken in to account.

Game five was phenomenal, the lead must have changed hands seven or eight times before the finish. SID were holding bulls and scoring on them while PMM needed two semis to finish, however PMM still had 15s, 13s and 12’s open. Dave kept whacking in semis; scoring 25s 50s and even 75s at a time but miraculously PMM managed to keep up by hitting several treble 15s among other goodies. Eventually we managed to shut of the bulls leaving Dave’s team requiring 2 x 15,13 and 12 to win, a very tall order, he closed the 15’s and one of the other numbers; fortunately this still left us with room to make the winning score.

However as exciting as it was and as pleased as we were to win it, let’s not forget that SID won the match!

The other great news is that Malc had broken his duck! He is no longer mister ‘flat line’, he is now a considerable blip... Long may it continue :-)

Notable Events: Dave gained another O3B (three semis in one turn), well done Dave.

Bull Wars: Dave 4, Ian 3, Malc 1

Chart Changes: Steve moves up one position to 4th place, forcing JA down to 5th Position.

Future position battles appear to be Dave and Pete <2% between them, Mike and Steve also <2% and Doddy and Colin who are <1.5% apart. Game On!
